RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Stodola 2011-06-10 10:16:01 UTC
Description of problem:
java-1.5.0-gcj uses 'awk' in its installation scriplets, but the package doesn't depend on awk:

[root@rtt6 rpms]# rpm --nogpg -q --scripts -p java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.s390x.rpm | grep awk
  | awk '{ print $5 }')
    | awk '{ print $5 }')
[root@rtt6 rpms]# rpm --nogpg -q --requires -p java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.s390x.rpm | grep awk
[root@rtt6 rpms]#

It causes error messages in some cases:
...
  Installing : gtk2-2.18.9-6.el6.s390x                                    91/95 
  Installing : libgcj-4.4.5-6.el6.s390x                                   92/95 
  Installing : java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.s390x                      93/95

  Installing : sinjdoc-0.5-9.1.el6.s390x                                  95/95

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum --installroot=/root/new_install_root install java-1.5.0-gcj

Actual results:
  Installing : java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.s390x                      93/95 
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LfeChV: line 21: awk: command not found
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qWtYn5: line 3: awk: command not found

Expected results:
